Default pic inside: clearance problem with phr on eibach prokit

phr=panhard rod
l=lower
u=upper

i was under the car and notice that the passenger side mount where the uphr and lphr are bolted that when the car is sitting normal the to phr's are pushed against each other.. this only gets worse as the suspension comresses..

any thoughts? a tubular lphr will help this i believe.. i have a few shots of it.

this causing a slighty bumpy condition on the right rear?

Notice the time.^^^^ My neighbors think I'm a loon <img src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" border="0" alt="[jester]" /> ...on my back, in my boxers, barefoot, 38 degrees with a flashlight all for you. Not really. I AM a loon! <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0"> <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

I've got the BMR adj. PHR and Prokit and don't have any problems where they meet on the passenger side but the Uphr does cup over the BMR PHR slightly. Since it's tubular, it kinda just fits right into the upside down "U" shape of the Uphr.

I can see how the stock ones would crunch together there. You can solve it for about $100. Get the dual adj PHR. Piece of cake to install and set.

Nah. The panhard rods have absolutely nothing to do with how bumpy your ride feels. Zilcho. Nada.

The bumpy ride is all from your Eibach Pro Kit.

Get subframe connectors and some good shocks if you're still using the factory DeCarbons, and your ride will smooth out quite nicely.

Dean, did you look at the pictures? <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0"> The rear suspension is in a bind because the bars are colliding.

They are definitely binding the suspension up which could cause some problems. According to what Weasel said about his tubular PHR, I would think it would solve your problem. The BMR adjustable would be the way to go in my opinion. Good luck...

Well the X-mas card discount expired back in January but the BMR adjustable PHR is $109. Maybe I can throw in shipping or something. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
